However I have another problem now... CentOS 5.2 only sees 256MB RAM.
Is "OS install mode" set to "On" in the BIOS? I seem to remember this sets the memory limit to 256Mb
It is in fact. Lemme' check. BRB.
Hot diggety, that did it!! 4GB RAM available now. You guys are just golden, thx a bunch!
What is that "install mode" for anyway?? As I said earlier, this is my first Dell-server ever and as it's a refurbished machine, I didn't get any manuals and stuff... Probably will need to visit support.dell.com in a near future.
You guys think I will now be able to run that bios update as well? Figuring it might have been a deficient RAM-issue, with 4GB RAM it might work now...?
Heh, googling for "poweredge install mode on" reveals it's not only having had this problem. ;-)
